Next time you go, look at the other types...corn oil, canola oil, etc. I've never priced the oil because I get it for free after they've cooked with it. Put "vegetable oil diesel" into the YouTube search engine. There are quite a few great videos showing what some of the other users are doing. One "good ol' boy" redneck simply pulls his truck up to the above ground tank and pumps the oil into his truck-mounted filter system from about halfway to the bottom of the oil in the waste oil tank behind the restaurants, only pumping what he's going to use. His diesel, so he says, runs fine this way. I can see how that works as the solids will settle out of it just sitting in the stationary tank, unless he shows up just after they've drained their fryers into it, which might agitate it. We've found very little sediments in our plastic supply jugs. Lots of the users on YouTube have very expensive overkill trying to make it super pure....which it doesn't really need. Injectors regularly pass 1 micron crap from the dino diesel and burn it. Going berserk on purity is unessential, it seems. Like me, you live in a hot climate and I think heating the oil is overkill, too. Yankees up North and Europeans need to worry about the cold, not us. Larry There are a lot of Good Old Boys that are doing things on YouTube. I'd much rather get my information from someone who's been there and done it. :-) Bruce in Bangkok (brucepaigeatgmaildotcom) -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
